FOREWORD FROM THE ACTING MINISTER OF PLANNING AND
ECONOMIC AFFAIRS AND THE UN RESIDENT COORDINATOR
Since the 14-year civil war ended ten years ago and constitutional rule was restored in 2006, Liberia has made
significant progress towards securing the peace, building the economy, improving social services, and engaging
in wide-scale infrastructure reconstruction and development. Important first steps have been taken to reconcile
the people, and democratic governance is being steadily consolidated. In 2011, the first post-conflict nationally-
organized presidential and legislative elections were held successfully.
Liberia‘s first Poverty Reduction Strategy, introduced in 2008, ended in 2011, and an evaluation showed that
two-thirds of planned actions were carried out. Progress has been made in health, social services, electricity
generation and distribution, road construction and in the agricultural and mining sectors. A number of critical
public institutions have been established to improve governance, facilitate decentralization, enhance transparen-
cy and accountability, and improve service delivery. A civil service reform strategy has also been initiated.
Yet, a number of challenges remain. Unemployment, particularly among the youth, is unacceptably high. A
survey in 2010 revealed that 37% of households considered themselves to be living in poverty, while 8.9% felt
they were living in extreme poverty. A large percentage of Liberia‘s 3.5 million population lives on less than
US$ 1 a day, women and children continue to be sexually abused or exploited, and many Liberians lack access
to appropriate healthcare.
The Government and people have introduced an ambitious and bold vision: Liberia RISING 2030, to transform
the country through a new development strategy, which was launched in December 2012. A national reconcilia-
tion roadmap, a multi-year budget framework and an open budget initiative have also been launched. Currently,
reforms of the Constitution, electoral laws and land tenure are underway. The overall effort is to turn Liberia into
a middle income country by 2030, characterized by peaceful and inclusive politics, a diversified economy, stable
institutions and an educated citizenry, all in the lifetime of one generation.
Medium-term development strategies, the first of which is the Agenda for Transformation, 2013-2017, have
recently been launched. The Agenda is organized around five pillars:
1. Peace, Security and Rule of Law
2. Economic Transformation
3. Human Development
4. Governance and Public Institutions
5. Cross-cutting issues
Building on the achievements of Liberia‘s first UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), 2008-2012,
the One UN Programme, has been developed through a highly consultative process, with close collaboration
among the Government, the United Nations system, and Development Partners. The One Programme comprises
the UNDAF and a Costed Action Plan, and is closely aligned with national priorities as outlined in the Agenda
for Transformation, and is developed around four pillars, namely:
1. Peace, Security and Rule of Law.
2. Sustainable Economic Transformation.
3. Human Development.
4. Inclusive Governance and Public Institutions.
Cross-cutting issues identified in the Agenda have been mainstreamed into the One Programme.
The One Programme is a key component of ―Delivering as One‖ in Liberia, setting out the various interventions
of UN agencies and funds in the country, in a single strategic framework. It is a bold initiative, and one that will
require innovative coordination and implementation modalities, and strong commitment from Government,
Development Partners and the UN to work together in achieving the priorities of the One Programme.

Besides enhancing national leadership and ownership, the One Programme reinforces the Government‘s
monitoring and oversight capacities, provides a transparent overview of UN activities and financial arrange-
ments, and ensures accountability. It also helps position the UN more strategically in areas where it has a distinct
comparative advantage, allowing it to be a more effective development partner and increasing the impact of its
collective interventions through more coherent, coordinated and focused strategies and programmes.
In conclusion, we reaffirm our commitment in achieving the objectives set forth in the One Programme, which
will demonstrate a measured and improved change in the lives of the people of Liberia.

PREFACE FROM THE SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
SECRETARY-GENERAL AND UN COORDINATOR IN LIBERIA
Tremendous progress has been made in Liberia since the end of the devastating conflict in 2003. Nationally
organized elections have been held, the economy has improved and the budget is double that of a few years ago,
amongst a host of other areas of progress. In four consecutive years, children who have never known war have
started school. We are confident that the hard-won peace and stability that Liberia enjoys today will continue to
be entrenched, that genuine reconciliation will occur, and that all those living in Liberia will benefit from that
peace.
Ambitious goals have been set for the country in its Liberia RISING: 2030, in the medium-term Agenda for
Transformation, and National Reconciliation Roadmap. The United Nations system welcomes the launch of
these documents that set out long and medium terms goals for Liberia.
Such ambitious goals are necessary if Liberia is to continue to consolidate and sustain progress, and become a
middle-income country by 2030. It is also important that every person living in Liberia, the Government, and
Development Partners work together, and with vigor, in supporting the achievement of that goal, for the fair dis-
tribution of prosperity to all, and for the broadest public participation in the development of the country.
The launch of the One Programme comes at a time when the UN in Liberia itself is starting a transitory stage. In
September 2012, the UN Security Council recommended that UNMIL continue with the next stage of its Consol-
idation, Drawdown and Withdrawal plan, reducing its troop strength by almost half over the next few years, and
increasing its police strength to enhance its support to the Liberia National Police (LNP).
This is a positive development, and reflects Liberia‘s progress with regard to peace and security. The transition
will be gradual, and at the same time, the United Nations is working at increasing its capacity to continue
supporting Liberia. This One Programme reflects that commitment to Liberia, articulating the broad areas of UN
assistance in the next five years. It was developed through a process of consultation with the Government and
Development Partners.
This One Programme is closely aligned to national priorities, based on the comparative, diverse, and collective
expertise of the entire United Nations family in Liberia. The development of one strategic framework will
strengthen collaboration within the United Nations in Liberia for greater impact and accountability of our efforts.
It also incorporates the UN Country Team (UNCT) and the UN Mission in Liberia‘s (UNMIL) shared vision of
security and peace-building priorities.
As Coordinator of the United Nations system in Liberia, I take this opportunity to reiterate our commitment to
stand by Liberia, and together with other Development Partners, to support the goals of achieving peace,
prosperity and equality for all people in Liberia.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since 2003, The Government of Liberia (GoL), in collaboration with the UN and development partners, has
made significant progress in securing peace and rebuilding essential infrastructure and services that were
destroyed during the 14 year conflict. In order to consolidate the gains and achievements, Liberia is now
moving from a period of recovery to long-term sustainable development, inclusive growth and wealth creation,
as articulated in its long-term national vision and medium-term Agenda for Transformation (AfT).
The first Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS 1) was completed in 2012. In formulating its post PRS development
agenda, the GoL launched two strategically complementary processes geared towards identifying both long and
medium-term national priorities in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. This process resulted in the
development of the National Vision 2030, whose overarching goal is to transform Liberia into a middle income
country by 2030. In order to achieve this, a series of medium-term plans will be implemented to guide develop-
ment activities in Liberia. Starting with a successor to the PRS1, the AfT will focus on investing in three main
areas: infrastructure, including transport, ports, and energy; people, including youth and employment, health,
education and reconciliation; and institutions, with particular emphasis on security, private sector development
and public sector reform.
The first United Nations Development Assistance Framework (2008 – 2012) assisted the GoL to implement
national objectives by aligning its interventions with the four pillars of the PRS1. Taking into consideration the
reformulation of the government‘s priorities, the end of the UNDAF in 2012, and the launch of Delivering as
One in 2010, the United Nations in Liberia began preparations for the development of a successor to the
UNDAF. In 2010, Liberia became the first post-conflict country with an Integrated Mission to implement
Delivering as One.
It was decided by the UN Country Team (UNCT) that the new UNDAF would be more strategic and focused
on the UN‘s comparative advantage as well as take into account the requirements of Delivering as One. In line
with the latter, it was also agreed that in addition to the Strategic Framework and Results Matrix at the
Outcome and Outputs levels, the UNDAF would be accompanied by a detailed Costed Action Plan. Together
they constitute the One Programme.
The UNDAF describes the UN‘s collective response to national development priorities, while the
corresponding Costed Action Plan operationalizes the UNDAF and defines in greater detail, management and
coordination arrangements, financial modalities, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) processes and serves as the
main legal document for multi-year programming.
The One Programme Strategic Priority Areas are summarized as follows:
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
UN Pillar I: Peace, Security and Rule of Law
Outcome 1.1: Rule of Law: Liberia has an improved, inclusive Rule of Law framework for effective
administration of and equitable access to justice in compliance with International Human Rights
Standards.
Outcome 1.2: Peace and reconciliation: Liberia has an improved, coherent and inclusive mechanism
for national reconciliation operationalized at national, regional county and local level.
Outcome 1.3: Security: Liberia has more efficient, effective, accountable and responsive security institu-
tions at the national, regional, county and local levels.

most vulnerable groups and individuals.
Outcome 3.4: Social Protection: Vulnerable households and groups benefit from appropriate social protection
services and systems.
Outcome 3.5: Water, Sanitation & Hygiene: Population has increased utilization of safe water and practice
safe sanitation and hygiene in underserved areas.
Outcome 3.6: HIV-AIDS: Scaled up access to and utilization of HIV Prevention, treatment, care and support
services.
UN Pillar IV: Inclusive Governance and Public Institutions
Outcome 4.1: Strengthening Key Governance Institutions: By 2017 Liberia has governance institutions
equipped with inclusive systems to perform effectively.
Outcome 4.2: Constitutional and Legal Reform: By 2017, a review of the Constitution is completed with a
framework that guarantees democratic governance and equal rights of all citizens.
Outcome 4.3: Natural Resources Management: By 2017, Liberia has an effective and efficient natural
resource management framework enabling transparent, accountable and equitable distribution of economic
benefits and protection of rights of all.
Outcome 4.4: Public Sector Institutions and Civil Service Reform: By 2017, Liberia has an improved and
decentralized public sector and civil service providing fair and accountable basic services to people.
The Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) and Results Based Management, two of the five programming
principles, have been central to the development of the One Programme.
Furthermore, gender equality and women‘s empowerment is a UN mandate, a GoL goal, and a programming
principle for development assistance within the One Programme. The situation of women and girls in Liberia
warrants additional, coordinated and comprehensive gender‐specific activities to address gender disparities and
gender based violence (GBV). The needs of vulnerable men and boys will also be addressed through the One
Programme.
Environmental sustainability and capacity development are also mainstreamed into the document. Other issues
considered as cross cutting in the AfT, such as youth empowerment, labour and employment, HIV/AIDS, child
protection, conflict prevention and needs of disabled and disadvantaged persons have been mainstreamed into
the four UN Pillar Areas.
The One Programme has been developed with the full participation of the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL),
and incorporates key focus areas related to UNMIL‘s mandate and core benchmarks, such as security and peace
consolidation and represents a shared vision of the entire UN system‘s contribution to the country‘s development
priorities.

SECTION 1
Background

SECTION 1:
1.1 Background
1.1.1 Economic Situation
According to World Bank classifications, Liberia is a
Low Income country. Moreover, Liberia ranks 174 out
of 186 in UNDP‘s 2011 Human Development Index.
63.8% of Liberia‘s 3.5 million people live below the
poverty line, with 47.9% living in extreme poverty and
subsisting on less than US$1 per day. Liberia‘s Low
Income status has been exacerbated by many years of
civil war, during which economic activity came to a
virtual stand-still and infrastructure was badly damaged
or destroyed. A major contributing factor to poor eco-
nomic performance was also a history of inequality,
exclusion and underdevelopment in some areas.
Nevertheless, since the end of the conflict, Liberia has
become one of the world's fastest growing economies
with a 7% growth rate in 2011 and a 9% growth rate
anticipated for 2012, mainly due to the expansion of
mining activities. This economic stability has enabled
banks to open throughout the country, and there are
currently nine different banks with 78 branches na-
tionwide. An increasing number of individuals and or-
ganizations now have access to credit, which will fur-
ther stimulate the economy. The stable economic con-
ditions during the post-war period fulfilled the criteria
for the Heavily Indebted Poor Country completion
point, which qualified the country to receive US$ 4.6
billion in debt relief.
Liberia continues to rely heavily on external sources of
funding, mainly official development assistance (ODA)
and foreign direct investment (FDI). Combined with a
high dependency on imported food, this leaves the
economy vulnerable to macroeconomic effects, includ-
ing rising food and fuel prices and the global economic
turndown.
Economic recovery has been heavily reliant on agri-
culture and mineral resource exploration.
Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for two-
thirds of Liberia‘s population. Over 330,000 house-
holds are engaged in agriculture, primarily small holder
and subsistence farming, as well as the cultivation of
cash crops, such as coffee, sugarcane and cocoa. Libe-
ria‘s economy is also dependent on large scale com-
mercial rubber and palm oil plantations. In 2008, rub-
ber accounted for nearly 90% of exports. Manufactur-
ing industries account only for 9.6% of GDP, and ser-
vices occupy 30%.
Agriculture, in particular cash crop farming, will
continue to be a major driver of growth and source of
employment, which will improve livelihoods, and re-
duce food insecurity and poverty.
According to the 2010 Comprehensive Food and Nu-
trition Survey, food security had improved over the
preceding five years. However, it indicated that food
insecurity remains high. 41% of Liberians consume
insufficient food and of these 13% eat only rice, roots
and tubers. A stakeholder survey in 2011 indicated that
56% of households had only one meal a day, and 34%
two per day. Rice is the main staple of Liberian diets
and 60% of national requirements are imported from
Asia and South America, a reduction from 90% imme-
diately after the war, but still a high proportion. All
domestic livestock were lost in the war, but there are
signs of replenishment. Over half of rural families keep
chickens, and goat ownership has risen from 5% in
2006 to 10% of households in 2010. The same survey
indicated that the areas with the poorest road networks
are the least food secure.
1.1.2 Infrastructure and Employment
Since 2006, 1000 miles of up-country roads and 400
miles of feeder roads have been built, allowing more
farmers and small business operators to access
markets. In addition, a concession has been signed for
the operation of the Freeport of Monrovia with APM
Terminals, one of the largest operators in the world.
Work is now underway to revitalize the country's other
ports, including Bassa, Sinoe and Harper, which will
boost local economies in the South-East. The AfT lists
infrastructure development, energy, roads and ports, as
well as increasing access to electricity, as key priorities
in the AfT. In 2006, the Liberia Electricity Corpo-
ration recommenced operations, and currently more
than 5000 customers have access to the grid. As trans-
mission lines are rebuilt and access is improved, the
cost of electricity, currently the most expensive in Afri-
ca, is expected to decrease.

Despite improving economic conditions, Liberia expe-
riences high levels of unemployment, which is estimat-
ed to be 18.8% for males and 34.2% for females. The
informal sector accounts for 68% of employment,
primarily in agriculture, forestry and fishing, as well as
in the wholesale and retail trade. Only 15% of Liberi-
ans are employed in the formal economy, mostly in
plantation agriculture. A Labour Force Survey
conducted in 2010 concluded that approximately 1.1
million people aged 15
and over were employed,
of whom most are self-
employed or are unpaid
workers in a family
concern. 78% of the
labour force, estimated to
be 1,133,000 persons, is
in ―vulnerable employ-
ment‖, lacking the pro-
tection of labour regula-
tions and social benefits.
Youth, aged 15-35 com-
prise 63% of the total
population, but lack vocational training, employment
opportunities, and access to adequate health care and
reproductive health services. A large number were
deprived of basic education opportunities during the
conflict. They possess neither the requisite education,
nor the technical or entrepreneurial skills to obtain
gainful employment in either the private or public sec-
tors. Youth unemployment, particularly high among
ex-combatants, remains a major threat to peace and
stability in Liberia.
1.1.3 Health
Liberia‘s health standards have been steadily improv-
ing since the end of the conflict.
Life expectancy has significantly improved, from 42
years in 2006 to 55.5 in 2011. Similarly, the number of
functioning health care facilities in the country have
increased by 55%, from 354 in 2006 to 550 in 2011,
while 71% of people have access to a health facility
located within five kilometers from their community.
Between 2006 and 2011, 30 new clinics were
constructed and 196 were rehabilitated. In 2012, the
World Health Organization (WHO) declared that
Liberia has eliminated maternal and neonatal tetanus
(MNT). The incidence of HIV remains low at 0.17%,
with an HIV prevalence of 1.5% in the adult popula-
tion, higher among women (1.8%) than men (1.2%).
Although the provision of the Basic Package of Health
Services has increased from under 40% in 2008 to
more than 80% in 2010, there is still disparity in terms
of accessibility, distribution and utilization of services.
For example, 85% of urban households are within one
hour walk of a health facility, while two thirds of rural
households travel more than one hour to reach a health
care facility.
The Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation has
increased the provision of treated water from 3 million
gallons per day in 2010 to 5.5 million gallons a day in
2011, and has expanded its customer base to 700,000
people within greater Monrovia. Yet, access to safe
drinking water nationwide remained poor, with a
study in 2010/2011 indicating that only 50.8% of all
water points surveyed were fully functional.
1.1.4 Education
While the gross primary enrollment rate of 94%
(2008) reflects improvements in the post-war period,
net primary enrollment remains low at 34%. Efforts to
fully abolish primary school fees in 2006 were
expected to improve school access, but schools have
not received operational budgets to substitute the fees.
Without adequate funding, poor educational quality is
reflected in a low literacy rate of 56% among the pop-
ulation older than 15, as well as grade 6 completion
rate of only 35% for 15-19 years olds. The percentage
of adults who have completed secondary school
remains unchanged, at 11%, however, the percentage
of those who have completed university education did
rise from 12% to 15%.
A large number of schools and educational facilities
were completely destroyed or damaged during the
conflict, and the sector suffers from a lack of trained
teachers. Nevertheless, in the period 2008–2012, more
than 220 primary and secondary schools were either
constructed or rehabilitated, while three community
colleges and a modern campus for the University of
Liberia were built.
1.1.5 Gender and Gender-Based Violence
Women comprise 54% of the labour force in both the
formal and informal sectors. In agriculture they consti-
tute the majority of smallholder producers and it is
estimated that they produce approximately 60% of
agricultural products, carry out more than 80% of trad-
ing activities in the rural areas and are engaged in the
artisanal fishing industry, in addition to fulfilling daily
household chores.
Yet women remain among the most disadvantaged.
They are disproportionately clustered in the least
productive sectors, with 90% employed in the
informal sector or in agriculture.
The gender gap is also apparent in education.
Illiteracy rates among women aged 15 to 49 are espe-
cially high, at 60% compared to men at 30%.

ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
42% of Liberian women, as opposed to 18% of men,
have never attended school.
In rural areas, literacy rates among women are stag-
geringly low at only 26%. With regard to secondary
school statistics, the net enrolment rate for women is
6%, while only 8% of women complete secondary
school, in contrast to 19% of men. Early marriage and
high rates of teenage pregnancy contribute to high
dropout rates among girls. It is estimated that 48% of
Liberian women become pregnant by the age of 18.
Sexual and Gender based violence (SGBV), which
was exacerbated by the civil conflict, continues to be
prevalent in Liberia, and occurs across all socio-
economic strata. During the conflict, the perpetrators
of SGBV were mainly fighting forces. However, after
the war, perpetrators include not just ex-combatants,
but community or family members, teachers,
husbands and partners. Women and girls continue to
bear the brunt of sexual and gender-based violence.
Rape and domestic violence remain the most frequent-
ly reported serious crimes in Liberia, accounting for
more than 70% of all reported cases. Between January
and July 2011 alone, 1,325 cases of SGBV were
reported with rape related incidents representing a
total of 68% of all reported SGBV cases. In the past
four years, an average 55% of survivors of reported
rapes involved children below the age of fifteen years.
Nevertheless, Liberia has made considerable progress
in combating SGBV. A Rape law was passed in 2008,
expanding the definition of rape and meting out severe
penalties to those convicted of rape. The Government
established Criminal Court E, specialized in SGBV
cases and a specialized unit in the Ministry of Justice
was also created to expedite the investigation and
prosecution of alleged perpetrators. Community
awareness campaigns on SGBV were undertaken
throughout the country, while comprehensive training
sessions were held for judges, magistrates, prosecu-
tors, health, and social workers in the clinical manage-
ment of rape. A total of 52 Women and Children
Protection Sections (WACPS) have been established
within the Liberian National Police (LNP) service and
personnel trained to manage sexual violence and juve-
nile justice cases. Psychosocial and health assistance
were provided for survivors of SGBV and shelters
were constructed to support victims of abuse. A com-
munity referral system was also developed and mech-
anisms to prevent, monitor and report Sexual Exploi-
tation and Abuse (SEA) and SGBV in schools and
communities were strengthened. At the policy level,
the National GBV Action Plan was revised in 2012
and a National Action Plan for the implementation of
Resolution 1325 was formulated in the same year.
1.1.6 Rural versus Urban Disparities
The poor state of infrastructure continues to constrain
economic growth in Liberia, especially outside the
greater Monrovia area. Large scale migration to the
capital and other cities is adding to the strain on the
limited infrastructure and social services. With the
population expected to rise to five million by 2018,
there is an urgent need to invest in roads, water,
energy, transport, and other infrastructure, as well as
in capacity building and governance institutions across
the country.
Outside Monrovia, levels of urbanization remain low,
with most cities having populations of 100,000 people
or less. Many areas remain inaccessible due to poor
road conditions, which become worse during the rainy
season, while rural populations have less access to
health and educational facilities, transport, and
markets. Rural areas have lower literacy rates (42% as
opposed to 72% in urban areas). Net Enrollment Rates
for secondary schools in 2008 was 17% in rural areas,
half that of urban areas. Illiteracy in the rural areas is
higher (58%) than in the urban areas (30%).
The rates of informal employment are much higher in
rural (75%) than urban areas (59%), and much higher
for females (74%) than for males (61.3%). The high
rates of informal employment in rural areas are related
to the lack of formal jobs in most of the counties, with
the population being primarily engaged in subsistence
farming.
1.1.7 Land Issues
In Liberia, access to, control over, and ownership of
land were at the heart of the conflict and remain
sources of contention and insecurity. Less than 20% of
total land in Liberia has a title attached to it, while a
high percentage of the population either occupy state
or private lands with little or no statutory or formal
arrangements, leaving women particularly land
insecure. The issue of land ownership is further
complicated by a dual legal system, the return of
displaced populations to their areas of origin and the
increasing number of concessional agreements signed
between the Government and multi-national compa-
nies.
Following elections in 2005, the Government has been
committed to promoting land reform and established a
Land Commission in 2009, which has taken signifi-
cant steps towards the formulation of a long-term land
policy, law reform and the development of an alterna-
tive dispute resolution mechanism.

UNDAF 2013 - 2017
1.1.8 Humanitarian and Refugee Issues
The presidential election in Côte d‘Ivoire held on 31
October 2010 resulted in a runoff, with both sides
claiming victory, which sparked an escalation of
political and social tensions. The tensions resulted in
the deterioration of the overall security situation in the
country, and led to an internal conflict. This generated
large-scale displacement of the population, both inter-
nally and to neighbouring countries, mainly Liberia.
By mid-2011, more than 200,000 refugees had
crossed into Liberia from Côte d‘Ivoire. By mid-2012,
this number had decreased to an estimated 70,000,
half of whom reside in refugee camps in Nimba,
Grand Gedeh and Maryland County. A Consolidated
Appeal (CAP) in February 2012 for US$121 million,
targeting 120,000 refugees, 2,000 third country
nationals, and 140,000 vulnerable Liberians in host
communities was revised mid-year to US$97 million
to reflect a decrease in refugee numbers. A number of
Sierra Leonean refugees and third country nationals
also live in Liberia.
1.1.9 Rule of Law and Security Sector Reform
From an overall perspective, progress continues to be
made to ensure an integrated approach to justice and
security in Liberia. Both sectors have witnessed
tangible improvements since the end of the conflict,
which have resulted in a more effective prosecution
system, increased access to justice, enhanced capacity
of judicial and justice officials, law reform and the
construction of the first of five Regional Justice and
Security Hubs.
Prison statistics clearly illustrate the level of progress,
as well as the challenges which lie ahead: in January
2009 the percentage of sentenced prisoners stood at
10%, while in May 2011 the percentage had doubled
to 20%. Similarly, in 2009, public defenders did not
exist in any of the counties, with the exception of
Montserrado. However, by 2012, trained public
defenders had been deployed to all fifteen counties, in
addition to county attorneys, magistrates and other
justice-related personnel. With regard to legislation, in
2009, the President established the Law Reform
Commission as part of the overall governance reform
process.
The security architecture has evolved into a stream-
lined sector with a clearly defined strategy and
parameters of responsibility. Significant progress has
been achieved in restructuring the Armed Forces of
Liberia, whose capacity has increased to two
battalions. The Liberian National Police (LNP) is
comprised of 4,400 trained officers, the majority of
whom are unarmed, with women representing close to
19% of the total force. Marked improvements within
the LNP have led to the adoption of Standard Operat-
ing Procedures, the development of accountability
mechanisms and human resource and financial man-
agement processes. Reform has also been initiated in
the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (BIN),
which has a total of 2,000 unarmed officers to control
border areas, as well as the Liberian Coast Guard.
1.1.10 Reconciliation
In 2010, Liberia was officially placed on the agenda of
the UN Peace Building Commission to help the
country consolidate its peacebuilding initiatives.
A Statement of Mutual Commitments was subsequent-
ly signed identifying three peacebuilding priorities for
the country: Security Sector Reform, strengthening the
Rule of Law, and promoting National Reconciliation
As a result, the Liberia Peacebuilding Programme was
formulated, capturing key interventions designed to
address critical gaps in the above areas. Consequently,
three Joint Programmes were developed by the GoL
and UN in order to address critical needs in the areas
of justice and security, land and youth.
1.2 Progress on the Achievement of the MDGs
The most recent report on Liberia‘s progress on the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) indicates
that even though the country has made significant
progress on its development agenda, it has achieved
mixed results with regard to the MDGs.
Statistics reveal progress in promoting gender equality and empowering women (MDG 3), for which Liberia
won the prestigious MDG Three Award in 2010,
combating HIV and AIDS with a current prevalence
rate of 1.5% (MDG 6), and developing a global part-
nership for development (MDG 8).
However, the eradication of extreme poverty and
hunger (MDG 1), the attainment of universal primary
education (MDG 2), reduction in child mortality
(MDG 4), improvement in maternal health (MDG 5),
and environmental sustainability (MDG 7, relating to
water and sanitation and to improved life for urban
slum dwellers) were found to be lagging behind, and
considered unlikely to be achieved by 2015.
In 2011, the Government established a technical work-
ing group to mainstream MDGs into national and
sectoral planning strategies. The group will use
UNDP‘s MDGs Breakthrough Strategy and the MDG
Acceleration Framework (MAF) mechanism to
address off-track MDGs.
Following a review of the status of all the goals and
21
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
targets, and considering existing resource and capacity
constraints, MDG 5 (improving maternal health) was
selected for acceleration. The selection was also made
in view of its multiplier effects on gender, maternal
and child health, education and water and sanitation
sectors.
The Ministry of Health‘s document ―Road map for
accelerating the reduction of maternal and newborn
morbidity and mortality in Liberia (July 2011 – June
2016)‖ outlines how MDG 5 will be accelerated.
WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF and UNAIDS are coordinat-
ing with line Ministries on the eventual rollout of the
roadmap.
Furthermore, there is a lack of data on issues related to
the MDGs. The publication of the 2012 Liberia MDG
Report, compiled by the Ministry of Planning and
Economic Affairs (MPEA) and the Liberia Institute of
Statistics and Geo-information Services (LISGIS), is
expected to fill this gap.
1.3 Poverty Reduction Strategy One PRS1)
(2008-2011)
The Government launched Liberia‘s first full Poverty
Reduction Strategy (Lift Liberia: PRS 2008-2011) in
2008, focusing on four key areas: Peace and Security,
Economic Revitalization, Governance and Rule and
Law, and Social Services.
Under each pillar an overall goal was outlined:
Pillar I (Peace and Security): Establish an
accountable security sector, including border
management that had the capacity to provide
security, manage conflict and prevent violence,
while respecting human rights.
Pillar II (Economic Transformation): Ensure
national economic policies and programmes are
being implemented to support equitable, inclusive
and sustainable socio-economic development.
Pillar III (Governance and Rule of Law):
Promote democratic, accountable and transparent
governance that is participatory, inclusive, and in
accordance with human rights standards.
Pillar IV (Basic Services): Improve health and
education, with an emphasis on reduced maternal
and child mortality and increased learning
achievement.
A number of cross-cutting issues were also incorpo-
rated into the PRS, including youth, gender, environ-
ment, capacity development and HIV and AIDS.
To initiate the formulation process of the PRSI, a
highly participatory exercise was carried out in 132
districts and three regional centers. The results of these
country-wide consultations informed the subsequent
development of County Development Agendas, for
each of the 15 Counties, adopting national priorities
articulated in the PRS for implementation at the local
level.
An evaluation of the PRSI conducted in 2012
concluded that two-thirds of planned actions were
carried out during the implementation period.
Among the numerous achievements, the report cited
the following:
The creation of a number of critical public
institutions to improve governance, facilitate the
decentralization process, reduce corruption, and
improve service delivery. These include the Liberia
Anti-Corruption Commission, the Public Procure-
ment and Concession Commission, and the Liberia
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
The development of a comprehensive Civil Service
Reform Strategy rationalizing the functions and
mandates of a number of ministries and agencies.
A National Defense Act passed in 2008.
A National Decentralization Strategy drafted in
2011, outlining a phased approach to fiscal decen-
tralization /devolution to the Counties over a
period of ten years.
1.4 National Vision and Agenda for Transformation
Based on the findings and conclusions of the PRS1
evaluation, in early 2011 the government embarked on
two parallel, complementary processes. These resulted
in the development of a medium term, prioritized,
results-oriented growth strategy, which is incorporated
into a long term vision of nation building.
The Agenda for Transformation (AfT) outlines the
specific goals that Liberia aims to achieve in the next
five years and forms the foundation for longer-term
development. Long-term goals are articulated in
Liberia RISING: Vision 2030, which takes a broad
view of economic, political, social, and human devel-
opment over an 18-year timeframe (2012-2030).
It aims to transform Liberia into a middle income
country by 2030.
The end result of this transformation would be a
country that is characterized by peaceful and inclusive
politics, a diversified economy, stable institutions and
22
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
administers and enforces laws fairly, land tenure prob-
lems have been resolved, natural resources are effi-
ciently managed and health and education standards
have reached those of other middle income countries.
The development of the Vision 2030 began in early
2011, when five thematic assessments on the culture,
history of Liberia, its people, the origin of the state
and natural resources, were undertaken. These were
followed by a number of regional and district consul-
tations focused on responding to the following four
broad questions in discussions with a representative
cross-section of the population:1) where have we
come from 2) where are we now 3) where do we want
to go, and 4) how do we get there.
With regard to the development of the AfT, the GoL
established 24 sectoral working groups,* tasked with
conducting comprehensive analyses of key sectors,
identifying needs and proposing a set of priorities and
strategies to be implemented during the period 2013-
2017. The UN and other partners actively participated
in these groups.
The results and recommendations from the studies
were presented at a High Level Economic Forum in
September 2011, which was attended by UN repre-
sentatives. The main objective of this Forum was to
build consensus among key Government policy mak-
ers and development partners on the country‘s future
development agenda.
Liberia‘s AfT is organized around the following five
pillars:
1) Peace, Security and Rule of Law.
2) Economic Transformation.
3) Human Development.
4) Governance and Public Institutions.
5) Cross-cutting issues.
From the priorities identified by the Government, it is
evident that the AfT recognizes the importance of
security as the most critical pre-requisite to growth
and development.
Furthermore, the GoL has resolved that all future
growth and development strategies must address these
issues in an inclusive manner.
1.5 The UN in Liberia
The United Nations in Liberia works within an Inte-
grated Mission context. The Head of UNMIL, the
Special Representative of the Secretary-General
(SRSG), is also the Coordinator of the United Nations
in Liberia. UNMIL‘s Deputy Special Representative
of the Secretary-General (DSRSG) for the Consolida-
tion of Democratic Governance also functions as Resi-
dent Coordinator (RC) and Humanitarian Coordinator
(HC). A second DSRSG coordinates issues related to
the Rule of Law.
Since the deployment of UNMIL in 2003, the UN in
Liberia has enhanced integration by creating joint
management structures, jointly planning and imple-
menting programmes and undertaking joint operations
in several areas.
The Strategic Policy Group (SPG) is the principal
forum for the discussion of key internal policy and
strategic issues. It is chaired by the SRSG and includes
representatives from UNMIL Sections and UNCT.
The UN Country Team (UNCT) in Liberia is an
expanded UNCT and comprises Heads of Agencies,
Funds and Programmes, the World Bank and IMF, as
well as substantive sections of UNMIL, and is chaired
by the Resident Coordinator (DSRSG/RC/HC).
The Inter-Agency Programming Team (IAPT) provides advice and technical support on program-
ming issues to the UNCT. It comprises Senior
Programme Officers of the UN, as well as some
UNMIL sections (including Human Rights and Civil
Affairs).
The Operations Management Team (OMT) provides operational support to the UNCT, and
advices on harmonization of the UN system‘s business
practices and common services, with the objective of
enhancing the delivery of development assistance, and
reducing transaction costs for both the UN and its part-
ners. The OMT has embarked on harmonization activ-
ities such as the adoption of a common ICT platform,
the introduction of common transport services, and the
launch of common international travel services, all of
which forms part of its change management plan.
Other coordination groups include the UN Communi-
cations Group (UNCG), a Monitoring and Evalua-
tion Technical Working Group (M&E), as well as
Theme Groups on Gender and HIV/AIDS. Four
UN Pillar Groups monitor progress across the four
priority areas of the One Programme.
* The 24 sectors include: social protection, capacity development, infrastructure, HIV/AIDS, mining, youth empowerment, governance, health and social welfare, WASH, education, labor and employment, disabled and disadvantaged, security, child protection, human rights, gender equality,
private sector, environmental issues and policy, agriculture, peace and reconciliation, forestry, justice and rule of law, judicial reform, and the
macroeconomic framework
23
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
At the field level, the UN has three Joint Offices, and
all 15 County offices are led by Heads of Field
Offices, who serve as focal points for the UN system
in the Counties.
1.6 UNDAF 2008 – 2012
The UN Development Assistance Framework
(UNDAF 2008-2012) was aligned with the national
priorities and timeframe of the PRS 2008-2011. Initia-
tives were carried out in each of the four areas of the
PRS Pillars: Peace and Security, Revitalizing the
Economy, Strengthening Governance and Rule of
Law, and Rehabilitating Infrastructure and Basic
Social Services. A fifth Outcome focusing specifically
on HIV and AIDS was subsequently added.
Five UNDAF Outcome Groups, which include partici-
pants from all UN Country Team members and
UNMIL Sections, were established following the
finalization of the UNDAF. Their purpose was to
ensure regular interaction between UN entities within
a common thematic area, and to coordinate planning,
implementation and monitoring of activities and
programmes.
To implement the UNDAF, a number of Joint
Programmes and initiatives were also developed with
the Government of Liberia to enhance coordination on
common thematic areas, including:
County Support Teams.
Food Security and Nutrition.
Gender Equality and Women‘s Economic
Empowerment.
Prevention and response to Sexual and Gender
Based Violence.
Youth Employment and Empowerment.
HIV and AIDS.
Justice and Security.
Adolescent Girls Initiative.
In addition to the annual reviews, an in-depth mid-
term review of the UNDAF was conducted in 2010.
Main recommendations emerging from this exercise
are summarized under the following categories:
Coordination: The Outcome Group structure
should ensure closer engagement with Govern-
ment and other development partners.
Crosscutting Issues: are main streamed through-
out the UNDAF, and adequate resources are allo-
cated. Ensure that sustainability is considered at
all stages of programme planning, implementation
and evaluation.
Results Based Management: A SMART*
UNDAF/Strategic Framework of Assistance is
developed.
Monitoring and Evaluation: The UNDAF moni-
toring and evaluation framework is, as far as possi-
ble, aligned with the M&E framework of the
Government‘s.
Accountability and Management tool: The
UNDAF should be reinforced as an accountability
and management tool.
The implementation of these recommendations, as
well as substantive changes in the timelines and
deliverables of the PRSI, ultimately led to a revision
of the UNDAF and its realignment with the Govern-
ment‘s reprioritization strategy.
In keeping with the June 2008 Secretary-General‘s
Decision on Integration, the mid-term review also
evaluated the UNDAF against the minimum standards
of the Integrated Strategic Framework (ISF). These
require the development of a common vision on peace
consolidation shared by UNMIL and the UNCT, as
well as a set of agreed results, timelines and responsi-
bilities for the delivery of related tasks and actions.
The assessment concluded that the UNMIL-UNCT
joint vision was fully captured in the UNDAF and its
five Outcome Areas, and that the UNDAF fulfilled all
ISF requirements. It was subsequently endorsed by the
Integrated Mission Task Force in late January 2010.
1.7 Delivering as One
In February 2010, the Government of Liberia (GoL)
requested to become a Delivering as One (DaO) self-
starter country.
Once approval was received from the Department of
Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and the UN Devel-
opment Group (UNDG), a Concept Note and roadmap
were developed and endorsed at a High-Level meeting
in October 2010 with the participation of representa-
tives of the Government, UN, donors and partners,
thereby officially launching DaO in Liberia, and
becoming the first post-conflict country with an
integrated mission to do so.
In this context, the SRSG remains the Head of the UN
system in Liberia, while the DSRSG/RC/HC, has
delegated authority to plan and implement the
Delivering as One agenda.
*Strategic, measurable, accurate, relevant and timebound
24
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
The objective of DaO
in Liberia is to
enhance the impact of
UN interventions, by
building on the
achievements to date, increasing Government owner-
ship, delivering more coordinated, effective and
efficient assistance to the country, and ensuring a
smooth transition of UNMIL.
Since the launch, a number of activities were
undertaken under three broad categories:
Programmatic Change, Organizational Change, and
Communications. Below is a summary of some of the
key activities undertaken in each category:
1.7.1 Programmatic change
A comprehensive review of existing Joint
Programmes, as well as a mid-term review of the
UNDAF were undertaken, and key recommenda-
tions implemented.
A UNCT Capacity Assessment was conducted to
review existing human, financial and technical
capacities, identify critical gaps and required
capacities, and recommend actions and measures
to coherently respond to national priorities,
deliver the One Programme, facilitate the change
management process and ensure a smooth transi-
tion of UNMIL.
A Strategic Planning Retreat with GoL and devel-
opment partners, followed by a results-based
management (RBM) workshop resulted in a draft
UNDAF narrative and a results framework at the
outcome and output levels. The results framework
has been operationalized through a Costed Action
Plan. Together, the UNDAF and Costed Action
Plan form the UN One Programme.
1.7.2 Organizational Change
All coordination mechanisms were reviewed, and
in some cases, restructured. In addition, UNDAF
Outcome Groups were also assessed, reconfigured
and renamed to address DaO and Transition
requirements. The UN Pillar Groups will closely
monitor activities and results under the pillars of
the UN One Programme, and regularly report to
the UNCT on progress.
An inter-agency monitoring and evaluation
(M&E) technical working group was created and
staff trained on Results Based Management
(RBM) and M&E.
An assessment of UNCT‘s operational capacity in
light of the UN One Programme, DaO, and
UNMIL transition was conducted.
The Operations Management Team has developed
a five-year Change Management Plan to harmonize
common business practices and services in a
number of areas, such as travel, ICT, procurement
and human resources, and increase collaboration
between Operations and Programmes.
1.7.3 Communications
A wide range of advocacy and publicity materials
were developed and briefings held on DaO for
UN staff throughout the country, Government,
donors, and partners.
A joint communications strategy and workplan
have been developed to reflect DaO Principles.
1.7.4 Transition of the United Nations
Mission in Liberia (UNMIL)
UNMIL has played a critical role since the end of the
conflict in Liberia, both by ensuring security within its
borders, and assisting in the restoration and extension
of state authority throughout the country. The Mission
has also supported the consolidation of peace and
security throughout the country, including training the
Liberian National Police, the Bureau of Immigration
and Naturalization and of Corrections officers,
supporting reforms in the justice and rule of law sec-
tors, and working closely with other UN entities and
development partners on recovery and development
activities.
Currently, UNMIL provides essential services to the
entire UN system, the Government and partners
including security, medical evacuation, aviation, com-
munications and other logistical operations. UNMIL is
also a key partner in the Liberia Peacebuilding Plan
and is involved in implementing a number of Joint
Programmes (Land, Justice and Security, Youth).
A Technical Assessment Mission (TAM) visited
Liberia in March 2012, tasked with conducting a
thorough review of progress made toward the transi-
tion benchmarks presented to the Security Council, as
well as developing proposals for the next stages of the
UNMIL transition.
The Assessment Mission concluded that although
significant progress has been achieved in the political,
economic and security sectors, these gains remain
fragile.
The mission's findings indicate that Liberia still
requires the presence of the peacekeeping mission to
maintain stability, while the country‘s security institu-
tions continue to require support and capacity develop-
ment to enhance operational independence.

ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
Moreover, the TAM found that Security Sector
Reform (SSR) has not been sufficiently integrated into
the broader reconciliation agenda.
In line with the TAM and Secretary-General‘s report,
the Security Council recommended that approximate-
ly 4,200 troops be repatriated in three phases between
beginning August 2012, leaving UNMIL‘s military
strength at approximately 3,750 troops in July 2015. It
also recommended that the police strength be
increased by up to three more formed police units to
1,795 personnel, in order to build public confidence in
the security sector and mitigate the effect of UNMIL‘s
reconfiguration in selected Counties.
A holistic approach towards SSR and justice reform is
a pre-requisite for sustainable peace, development and
reconciliation, and facilitates the effective transition of
UNMIL. Emphasis has been placed on the extension
of state authority, with recommendations that UNMIL
support the government in capacity building of all
security institutions, strengthening democratic govern-
ance, national reconciliation, and judicial services.
To advance the process, a number of actions have
already been taken as part of UNMIL transition
planning, including the establishment of a Joint
Transition Planning Working Group in 2010 in close
collaboration with the Government and key partners.
UNMIL services to Government and UNCT partners
have been mapped, and a working group focusing on
the civilian aspects of transition has been set up to
map out priority thematic areas and operational func-
tions to be transferred to the UNCT as UNMIL draws
down.
1.7.5 One Programme
The UNCT, in consultation with the Government,
decided not to conduct a Common Country Assess-
ment, since the AfT and Vision 2030 formulation
processes were preceded by a number of comprehen-
sive diagnostic studies and sectoral reviews, undertak-
en in close collaboration with key development part-
ners.
As an initial step, a One Programme Formulation Plan
was developed in 2010, outlining the steps and time-
lines leading to an UNDAF and Costed Action Plan.
The latter reflects the UN system‘s agreed, costed
results under One Budgetary Framework, showing
each Agency‘s planned inputs together with the fund-
ing sources, as well as resources to be mobilized under
a One Fund. The Costed Action Plan complements the
UNDAF by providing details on how the UN will
work with national partners and each other to achieve
the agreed result. It also contains details in terms of
governance and accountability structures, management
and implementation strategies, and monitoring and
evaluation mechanisms.
In accordance with the UNDAF guidelines, the five
programming principles (RBM, Capacity Building,
Gender, Environmental Sustainability and Human
Rights Based Approach) have been incorporated into
the One Programme. In addition, issues identified as
cross-cutting in the AfT have also been included into
the four Pillar Areas in the One Programme.
As was the case with the previous UNDAF, the One
Programme incorporates the UNCT and UNMIL‘s
shared vision on security and peacebuilding priorities.

2.1 ONE PROGRAMME PILLAR 1: PEACE, SECURITY AND RULE OF LAW
PROGRAMME SUMMARY
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
29
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
2.1.1 Outcome 1.1: Rule of Law – Building
effective administration and equitable access to
justice Context
Extending the rule of law, including access to justice,
improved capacity of the justice and security institu-
tions, and justice sector service delivery beyond the
capital Monrovia, remains a daunting task due to
limited state capacity and porous borders.
Although the threat of armed conflict has declined
significantly, there is much to be done to make Liberia
safe for its citizens. Armed robbery, mob violence
and vigilantism occur frequently, while arbitrary arrest
and detention, harsh prison conditions and prolonged
pre-trial detention undermine the formal justice
system.
Excessively high pre-trial detention rates result from
an array of weaknesses within the justice system, such
as the lack of a legal aid policy framework, poor coor-
dination between the various justice sector compo-
nents, ineffective deployment of circuit court judges
and poorly implemented bail provisions. Approxi-
mately 80% of the national prison population are
pre-trial detainees, with over 50% of this imprisoned
at the Monrovia central prison. With overcrowding at
over 200%, the prison system‘s capacity to ensure
safe, secure and humane conditions, is severely lim-
ited.
Rule of Law is also undermined by inconsistencies
resulting from the existence of two separate legal
systems, formal and customary. The formal system is
not accessible throughout the country and is only
handling a fraction of the cases. A recent report states
that 3% of all disputes are taken to the formal justice
system for resolution, 38% to customary courts and
50% are not pursued. In addition, key findings of
related studies indicate that many Liberians perceive
the formal justice system to be ineffective and incon-
sistent with Liberian traditions. The huge backlog of
cases resulting in lengthy pre-trial detention further
erodes confidence in the ability of the court system to
deliver justice effectively.
The judicial system also suffers from a shortage of
qualified magistrates, judges and support staff, and a
lack of accountability and oversight. The current legal
framework does not take into account the needs of the
most vulnerable, and tends to favour urban areas. A
significant number of magisterial courts are not
functioning, while many courts still lack essential
equipment and are housed in sub-standard buildings.
The fact that most Liberians lack even rudimentary
knowledge of both the justice system and their rights
and obligations, further complicates the situation.
Women suffer in particular, when the justice system
fails to protect victims of gender-based crime, while
all marginalized groups face barriers that prevent
adequate access to the justice system.
Rape continues to be one of the highest reported
crimes, with domestic violence also prevalent.
Although intensive in-service training has improved
the handling of cases involving SGBV and subsequent
referral by the police to the courts, the overall
response of the criminal justice system to SGBV
cases remains weak.
Government Priorities
The GoL has identified the following steps that need
to be taken to address the issues:
Review and harmonization of the customary and
formal justice systems.
Implementation of the modernization plan for the
Legislature.
Rehabilitation/construction and operationalization
of court facilities.
Training and deployment of judicial staff to the
Counties.
Implementation of transparent recruitment and per-
formance management procedures of judicial/
justice personnel.
Application of measures designed to increase case
management processes. Effective financial man-
agement system to support decentralization.
UN Contribution
The UN will support the various GoL agencies tasked
with these substantial reforms, and based on its
comparative advantage, provide assistance to the
following:
Harmonizing of customary and statutory justice
systems.
Capacity building of the Independent National
Commission on Human Rights.
Enhancing protection of vulnerable groups in the
justice system.
Assisting with treaty reporting and domestication
of International Human Rights standards.
Improving public knowledge of legal rights and
remedies for access to justice.
Improving service delivery capacity of justice
institutions at county and district level.
Building the capacity of justice sector
professionals.

UNDAF 2013 - 2017
2.1.2 Outcome 1.2: Peace and Reconciliation:
Ensuring long-term peace and stability through
increased social cohesion
Context
While the GoL and its partners have progressed on the
implementation of the security and rule of law compo-
nents, efforts on national reconciliation were initially
hampered by the lack of a coherent strategy and
coordination framework. In response, a Strategic
Roadmap for National Healing, Peacebuilding and
Reconciliation was formulated, which is a comprehen-
sive framework that identifies the critical components
for reconciliation, and creates a coordination platform
between the various stakeholders. It also identifies
Government ministries, national institutions, civil
society organizations and international partners who
will participate in the implementation of the subse-
quent programmes and projects.
The strategic goals associated with reconciliation are
as follows: a) Transforming individual, community
and societal mindsets, b) Rebuilding and strengthen-
ing inter-group relations, and c) Dismantling and
replacing polarizing institutions with more inclusive
bodies to prevent a relapse into conflict.
Government Priorities
The Roadmap, which is aligned with Liberia‘s Vision
2030 and other ongoing peacebuilding and state build-
ing processes such as the New Deal, is organized in
the following 12 inter-related strategic outcomes.
They are geared towards confronting past legacies,
managing the present, including ongoing land and
other community conflicts, and forging a shared and
reconciled future:
Accounting for the Past:
Community based Truth-telling, Atonement and
Psychosocial Recovery.
Memorialization.
Reparations.
Diaspora and Reconciliation.
Managing the Present:
Political Dialogue.
Conflict Prevention and Mediation.
Women‘s Recovery and Empowerment.
Youth Recovery and Empowerment.
Social Cohesion.
Planning for the Future:
Inclusive People‘s History.
National Vision and Collective Identity.
Transformative Education System.
UN Contribution
The UN in Liberia will provide the following
assistance:
Enhance inclusive policy processes within the
security sector by strengthening capacity of people
of Liberia through CSOs to engage in consultation,
advocacy and outreach activities related to national
reconciliation.
Enhance transitional justice as captured in the
Strategic Roadmap for National Healing, Peace
building, and Reconciliation, including technical
support for development of a national Reparations
programmme (and policy), and capacity support to
the Independent National Commission for Human
Rights to engage in consultation, advocacy and
outreach activities related to national reconcilia-
tion.
Strengthening capacities, systems and structures
for dialogue, mediation and conflict resolution
(including Alternative Dispute Resolution) at
national, county, and community levels through
community-based peace committees for conflict
monitoring, mediation and response and enhanced
youth and women‘s participation in the reconcilia-
tion dialogue.
2.1.3 Outcome 1.3: Security: Efficient, account-
able, responsive security institutions
Context:
Security institutions in Liberia have shown improve-
ment in both accountability and professionalism.
However much more remains to be done, as full
responsibility for the maintenance of security will be
transferred to Liberians within the next five years.
Although important reforms have been undertaken,
they have been insufficiently coordinated, resulting in
weak linkages between the various security actors of
the country. Emphasis has been placed on some
aspects of reform, such as basic training for the Armed
Forces of Liberia (AFL) and the Liberia National
Police (LNP), while other core aspects have received
limited attention. Nevertheless, the skill set of AFL
and LNP remains limited and needs continued capaci-
ty development support, which includes the provision
of essential equipment and communications.
There continues to be a significant lack of public con-
fidence in justice and security sector institutions,
including the police, the judiciary and corrections,
while concerns regarding transparency, accountability
and, fair treatment are expressed by large segments of
the population. In order to sufficiently lay the founda-
tions for the continued extension of state authority in
the country, the number of LNP recruits must double
to 8,000 by 2015.
31
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
Government Priorities
To accelerate progress, the Government of Liberia has
identified a number of key interventions:
LNP, AFL and Department of Defence (DOD) will
strengthen security and protection services.
The National Security Council will manage the
transition of UNMIL.
The Special Security Services will develop a Stra-
tegic Plan for the sector.
The DEA will be reformed and develop a National
Drug Prevention and Protection Strategy.
The Liberia National Fire Service will develop a
National Fire Prevention and Protection Strategy.
All agencies will be reformed as per the recommen-
dations of the National Security Strategy.
Five justice and security regional hubs will be
constructed, which will decentralize operations and
bring the security sector personnel closer to the
communities they serve.
UN Contribution
The UN in Liberia will contribute to the government's
goals by:
Identifying and addressing critical security gaps.
Assisting with the establishment of the five
Regional Hubs.
Contributing to the development of improved over-
sight, accountability and management structures.
Assisting with the integration of International
Human Rights standards in security sector institu-
tions.
Strengthening the role of women in security sector
institutions.

2.2 ONE PROGRAMME PILLAR II: SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION
PROGRAMME SUMMARY
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
43
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
2.2.1 Outcome 2.1: Natural Resources Utiliza-
tion and Food Security : sustainable natural
resources utilization and sustained food security
Context
Agriculture was the backbone of Liberia‘s economy
before and during the conflict, and will remain a
major driver of growth for the future. It accounts for
61% of GDP (2008) and is the primary source of live-
lihood for two-thirds of Liberia‘s people. Agrarian
systems are complex and reflect established, some-
times discriminatory, social practices. Forest based
systems dominate with tree crop-based systems in the
central belt, while root crop-based systems (including
rice) are found in the upland areas of the north. Fish-
ing and manual mixed cropping enterprises typify the
coastal belt.
While emphasis is being placed on agricultural devel-
opment for economic growth, the sustainable use of
natural resources, such as water, land and forests,
should be taken into account to avoid conflict and
environmental degradation. The sector is faced with a
number of challenges that hinder the full realization of
its potential, including the gap between large-scale
and small-holder farmers. Disparities are character-
ized by limited access to finance, infrastructure, tech-
nology, information and modern farming methods. In
addition, low productivity and lack of crop and live-
stock diversification contribute to food insecurity.
Small scale farmers lack the necessary inputs, such as
fertilizers, irrigation systems, seeds, breeding stock, as
well as credit, machinery and infrastructure for
transport, storage and marketing outreach services.
Government Priorities
The GoL‘s goal is to achieve sustainable agricultural
growth for both small-holder and large-scale farmers,
as well as improve the nutritional status of low-
income households through the following key inter-
ventions:
Research and identification of training needs.
Technical support in improved agricultural
practices, access to equipment, micro-finance and
marketing services to farmers.
Formation of farming cooperatives which are
intended to become the main conduit for socio-
economic development.
Establishment of a safety and, disease control
system.
Extension services to farmers country-wide.
Maintenance of strategic food reserves and
provision of market information.
Address infrastructure needs, including the con-
struction of feeder roads, to facilitate farmers‘
access to markets.
Encourage private sector investment in storage
and transport facilities.
Increase competitiveness of Liberian products on
the world market.
Promote aquaculture development and restocking
of natural water bodies with fish, as well as in-
crease the efficiency of processing facilities and
distribution networks.
Strengthen the livestock base to include sheep,
goats and poultry.
UN Contribution
The UN in Liberia will assist the Government in
achieving its goals by focusing on the following stra-
tegic priorities:
Providing advisory services and agricultural inputs
in order to increase production and productivity of
small-holder farmers.
Contributing to the development of value-added,
post-harvest food processing facilities and expand-
ing market linkages for small-holder farmer coop-
eratives.
Developing productive safety-nets, focusing on
youth, and female farmers in target areas.
Providing advice on improving the utilization of
natural resources (land, water, forest).
Building the capacity of public and community
institutions to coordinate, deliver and monitor food
security programmes.
2.2.2 Outcome 2.2: Private Sector Development:
Access to sustainable livelihoods in an innovative
and competitive private sector
Context
The GoL has acknowledged that if Liberia is to
achieve its long-term goal of becoming a middle-
income country by 2030, growth and employment in
the private sector must be at the core of its economic
transformation policies.
However, the economy has to contend with a domes-
tic private sector which suffers from a lack of tax
incentives and a conducive regulatory and legal envi-
ronment, limited access to financing and inadequate
capacity and management skills of entrepreneurs.
Moreover, the absence of financial services for low
income Liberian micro-enterprises, coupled with their
lack of access to larger markets, hinders their compet-
itiveness, both nationally and at a regional level.
Government Priorities
The GoL will encourage and facilitate Small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) to move to the formal
sector, increase access to financial services, expand
access to key marketing and infrastructure services
and enhance entrepreneurial capacities.
44
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
With regard to industrial development, the GoL will
seek to improve options for industry to employ
Liberian workers, including under-represented groups,
and increase the competitiveness of new and existing
industrial enterprises. This also entails enhancing the
skill set of the labour force to meet the needs of the
private sector.
In addition, measures to improve the regulatory
environment will be undertaken, which will provide
incentives for SMEs to enter the formal sector.
The GoL will also ensure protection of property
rights, as well as strengthen its own capacity in
contract negotiations.
UN Contribution
The UN, will support the Government and small
business owners in the following areas:
Building capacity to pass and implement legisla-
tion/policies aimed at fair and non-discriminatory
labour and employment practices.
Developing mechanisms to streamline the regula-
tory framework for the private sector.
Increasing access to business development
services and vocational training.
Enhancing access to financial services and
markets and improving value-chain standards for
small business, particularly those in rural areas.
2.2.3 Outcome 2.3: Basic Infrastructure and
Energy: Access to sustainable basic infrastructure
and alternative energy
Context
The Government considers infrastructure develop-
ment, which includes road and bridge construction,
affordable housing and sustainable energy as key
priorities in the immediate and medium term.
In all of these areas, the needs are vast, as are the chal-
lenges. In terms of energy and power, a majority of
Liberians have no access to electricity, resulting in an
over-reliance on unsustainable sources for both indus-
trial and household consumption purposes. The
transport sector is disrupted by inadequate mainte-
nance, management and safety standards. The total
road network of Liberia extends to 2,206 miles,
close to half of the country‘s infrastructure needs. In
addition, the existing primary, secondary and feeder
roads, of which 95% remain unpaved, suffer from
poor maintenance and are affected by heavy rainfall.
Government Priorities
The GoL will increase affordable access to the
electricity grid in main population centers and adopt
sustainable energy policies and practices, including
reduced use of charcoal and wood for fuel. Improved
planning and coordination in the transport sector will
increase the efficiency and safety of transport services
nationwide. 2,300 additional miles of roads will be
constructed and a maintenance system established.
With regard to housing, the GoL will expand access to
affordable housing, especially for low-income groups
and improve housing policies.
UN Contribution
The UN will support the Government in the following
areas: The formulation of a National Urban Development
Strategy, plans and legal framework, as well as
building the capacity of civil servants to implement
the strategy in 2017.
Developing a policy framework to increase access
to affordable housing.
Expanding agricultural and market infrastructure,
including feeder roads and market facilities.
Building the capacity of relevant Government staff
to develop options for alternative energy in rural
areas.
2.2.4 Outcome 2.4: Macroeconomic Policy:
Evidence based policies for stable and sustained
macro-economic environment
Context
During the period of the PRS-1, the GoL achieved
balanced budgets and negotiated major debt reductions.
Despite numerous achievements, gaps in capacity in
financial management and monitoring within line
ministries remain. Tax laws and revenue collection
systems are rudimentary.
Government Priorities
To address these challenges, the Government is intro-
ducing a Medium-Term Expenditure Framework,
which will inform line ministries in the development of
their respective 3-year budget plans. It also intends to
improve fiscal planning and expenditure management
and strengthen tax administration and royalty revenues.
UN Contribution
The UN will assist the Government in maintaining
fiscal stability through targeted interventions in several
areas:
Building the capacity of civil servants in economic
modeling and policy research, development and
advocacy.
Building capacity for fiscal and monetary policy
management.
Contributing to efforts towards regional coopera-
tion and integration and macroeconomic
harmonization.

PROGRAMME SUMMARY
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
59
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
2.3.1 Outcome 3.1: Health and Nutrition: access
and utilization of equitable, affordable and quality
health and nutrition services
Context
The number of skilled birth attendants per 10,000
persons is 5.7, still below the WHO recommended 23
per 10,000 persons. Maternal mortality stands at 994
per 100,000 live births (2011), among the highest in
the world, and under-5 mortality is 110 per 100,000
live births. Chronic malnutrition remains high at 42%,
while 36% of children under-five are chronically mal-
nourished.
As a whole, the sector suffers from a critical shortage
of skilled health workers, particularly in rural areas, as
well as the inadequate performance of existing health-
related personnel, often also insufficiently trained and
deployed in ill-equipped primary health care facilities.
Government Priorities
The Government's priorities in the AfT are centered
on improving both the quality and access to the health
system so that it serves the needs of all Liberians. The
following priority interventions have been identified:
Rehabilitation of remaining health facilities and
the recruitment/deployment of qualified clinical
staff.
Improvement of the operational efficiency, effec-
tiveness, financial sustainability, and accountabil-
ity of health services.
Promotion of community health, through the
recruitment of networks of trained health volun-
teers.
Increased access to and use of Essential Package
of Health and Social (EPHS) Welfare Services,
especially in rural areas and by vulnerable popula-
tions.
Reduced mortality and stunting by 25% and
increased immunization coverage from 74% to
80% for children under-five.
Reduced maternal mortality rate by 25%.
Provision of medical supplies and essential drugs
to facilities countrywide.
UN Contribution
The UN will assist the Government in improving
access to and quality of health care facilities in several
ways:
Building capacity to provide quality maternal and
newborn health services and ensuring compliance
with national policies.
Increasing awareness and knowledge of maternal
and newborn health care services.
Building capacity within the Ministry to implement
and monitor the essential package of health
services (EPHS) within a human rights framework.
Enhancing the ability of health workers to manage
cases of common childhood illnesses.
Assisting the Ministry in ensuring that a 90%
immunization rate is maintained.
Building the capacity of health workers and volun-
teers to deliver essential nutrition interventions.
Spreading knowledge of optimal feeding and care
practices for children below two years in targeted
regions.
2 3.2 Outcome 3.2: Education: school-aged girls
and boys and youth have increased access to
quality inclusive Early Child Development, Basic,
Post-Basic and Alternative Basic Education
Context
Although enrolment rates in primary and secondary
schools have improved considerably, many children
are still deprived of their right to education. The main
reasons given by families for children not attending
school include the inability of parents to pay school
fees, excessive distances to schools and lack of quali-
fied teachers. Many schools are still not implementing
the GoL‘s Free and Compulsory Education Policy that
removes fees in public primary schools, while it is
considered standard practice to oblige parents to pay
for uniforms, textbooks and other expenses, which, in
many instances, are used to cover schools‘ operating
costs. The total amount spent by households on educa-
tion is equivalent to US$27 million, greater than the
budget allocated by government to the sector (US$23
million).
The quality of learning in schools is also undermined
by overcrowding in classes, low salaries for teachers
and an inadequate number and geographical distribu-
tion of qualified teachers. Over 60% of primary school
teachers do not possess the required minimum qualifi-
cations. The situation is worse in remote and difficult
to access rural areas. Classroom conditions in many
schools are extremely poor and the majority lack
proper sanitation, and basic equipment such as desks
and chairs.
Furthermore, vocational training is ad hoc, of varying
quality and is not demand-driven. As a result,
vocational training does not fulfill the needs of the
market and does not lead to employment for out of
work youth.
60
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
Government Priorities
To address these challenges the GoL‘s strategic objec-
tives include:
Ensuring equitable access to free basic education
for all children and youth.
Improving the quality, relevance and accessibility
of secondary, tertiary and vocational/technical
education and to alternative basic education
programmes for out of school adolescents.
Increasing the numbers and improving the compe-
tencies of teachers in public schools.
Improving national and community oversight,
standards and coordination to ensure quality educa-
tion.
Rehabilitating and building functioning schools by
providing them with teachers, basic utilities and
equipment.
UN Contribution
The UN will provide technical advisory and policy
development services in the following areas:
Designing, modeling and piloting a holistic early
child development (ECD) approach.
Improving the learning level of children in basic
education.
Strengthening the education management system,
particularly as the system is decentralized.
Strengthening expanded post-basic education.
Designing and assisting with the implementation
of alternative basic education systems.
Continuing, and increasing government owner-
ship of the school feeding programme.
2.3.3 Outcome 3.3: Social Welfare and Social
Protection: systems and service improvement
Context
Social welfare and protection services are designed to
ensure that the poorest and most vulnerable in society
are safeguarded from violence, exploitation, abuse,
discrimination and neglect. With 47.9% of Liberia's
population living in extreme poverty, approximately
92,000 people living with disabilities, 4,300 orphaned
children and 85% of the workforce in vulnerable
employment, this is a daunting task. Lack of capacity
at the local level and coordination among the various
Government entities is also a challenge.
The GoL recognizes that addressing social welfare
and protection issues is a critical means of reaching
the country‘s poor and marginalized populations.
Ongoing social protection programmes in Liberia, the
majority of which are financed by external partners,
will provide a strong foundation on which the GoL can
build a comprehensive and inclusive social protection
system.
Government Priorities
In the AfT, the GoL has committed to assuming
progressive responsibility for social protection
programmes by:
Adopting and implementing a National Social
Protection Strategy to benefit the poorest and most
vulnerable households and groups.
Improving social service capacities nationally and
at county level, with the participation of communi-
ties.
Establishing an Alternative Care Unit to assist
orphans and families who are willing to host them.
Increasing access to services such as cash
transfers, food for work programmes, food supple-
mentation programmes, school feeding, family
planning and social welfare services for vulnerable
populations.
UN Contribution
The One Programme will support the GoL to achieve
its goals by focusing on:
In the area of Social Welfare:
Building the capacity of social workers to manage
cases, monitor situations and promote family-based
care.
Contributing to the establishment of birth registra-
tion services across the country.
Creating safe and secure environments for
survivors and individuals at risk of violence,
exploitation and abuse across the country.
In the area of Social Protection:
Building the capacity of relevant officials and staff
to deliver social protection services.
Increasing opportunities for vulnerable youth to
seek employment and improve their livelihoods.
Supporting safety net cash programmes to the most
vulnerable households.

2.3.4 Outcome 3.4: Water, Sanitation and
Hygiene
Context
Liberia has one of the highest rainfall rates in the
world and an abundance of rivers and streams.
However, even before the conflict, the country‘s water
supply infrastructure was minimal outside the capital.
During the war, Monrovia‘s pipe-borne water system
suffered major damage and is still operating at only
27% of its pre-war capacity. Access rate to an
improved drinking water source is 68% nationwide
(79% in urban areas and 51% in rural areas), and only
4% of households have pipe-borne water connections.
Most protected sources are hand-dug wells in shallow
water table areas or bore holes with hand pumps in
low water table areas. A recent mapping exercise
revealed that 40% of the improved water points have
either broken down or do not yield sufficient water
year round. At present, there is no sense of communi-
ty ownership of protected water points, nor is there an
effective system for their maintenance and repair.
Under these circumstances, use of unsafe water, lack
of basic sanitation and poor knowledge of hygiene
practices contribute to the high rate of mortality and
morbidity of children under five. Water-borne
diseases, including diarrhea and cholera account for
over one third of child deaths in the country.
Institutionally, several Government entities have over-
sight of the water and sanitation sector, which has led
to coordination challenges, further highlighting the
need for a coherent strategy and policy framework
that identifies clear roles and linkages between the
concerned ministries and agencies.
The disposal of human waste presents an even greater
challenge. Nearly half of the population lack access to
toilets, while 20% use shared facilities. The situation
is even more alarming in rural areas where 77% lack
access to toilets. In urban areas, where housing is
denser, 30% of the population lack access to toilets,
and use streams, ditches, beaches and rivers. Lack of
solid waste disposal, poor drainage and rotting
garbage leads to a disease ridden environment. The
GoL has limited capacity to develop infrastructure
required to expand waste collection and water supply,
and lacks human resource capacity for planning and
coordination.
Government Priorities
In terms of water and sanitation, the GoL plans to:
Expand and sustain water and sanitation services
country-wide, through the establishment of a clear
and functional governance structure, which
includes a National Water Resource and Sanitation
Board (NWRSB).
Increase safe hygiene practices by communities and
schools.
Expand equitable access to environmentally friendly
and sustainable water and sanitation services, solid
waste management, including to the poorest and
most vulnerable communities.
UN Contribution
The One Programme will contribute to creating an
expanded WASH sector by focusing on underserved
areas and prioritizing the following key interventions:
Providing improved water and sanitation services
to 400,000 additional people in underserved areas.
Providing and assisting with implementation of
WASH packages in 500 schools and 50 health
facilities in underserved areas.
Assisting with the establishment of the NWRSB
and other governing bodies.
Building capacity both centrally and at county
level for monitoring and evaluation.
Building capacity at central level for financial
management.
2.3.5 Outcome 3.5: HIV and AIDS
Context
A National AIDS Strategic Framework (NSF) 2010-
2014 was finalized in January 2010 to provide
guidance for a broad-based and expanded AIDS
response in the country. Subsequently, a plan to opera-
tionalize the NSF, including actions to address gender,
women, girls and HIV related challenges was
developed. The NSF and other strategic sources of
information indicate that although Liberia is a low
HIV prevalence (1.5%) country, it is faced with the
threat of increased infection due to cross-border move-
ments into Liberia. According to the Demographic
Health Survey (2007), the urban areas of Liberia, in
particular Montserrado County and the border areas,
register a higher HIV prevalence at 2.5% compared to
that of rural areas at 0.08%. The central region, includ-
ing Monrovia, has an HIV prevalence of 2.6%
followed by the South Eastern region bordering Côte
d‘Ivoire with 1.7%. North Central Liberia has the low-
est prevalence rate of 0.6%.
Over the last few years, a number of positive strides
have been made in addressing issues related to HIV
and AIDS in Liberia, including:
Expanding Services for the Prevention of Mother
to Child Transmission by 90% from 156 Health
facilities in 2010 to 297 health facilities presently;
with PMTCT sites increased from 144 in 2010 to
256 in 2011.

ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
National Network of People Living with HIV was
established and is helping with advocacy on
rights and information.
Increasing access to HIV treatment, care and
support from 3891 in 2010 to 4953 in 2010; and
6,804 for care in 2010 to 8824.
Despite these gains, condom use remains low, and
vulnerability of women and girls as a result of GBV,
including rape, and inadequate and unaffordable basic
socioeconomic services among people living with
HIV (PLHIV) and orphans and vulnerable children
(OVC) remains high. There is also inadequate infor-
mation on HIV/AIDS in the education sector and
limited resources and skills among caregivers. The
country is also faced with limited reproductive health
facilities for prevention of mother-to-child transmis-
sion (PMTCT) and low utilization and/or coverage of
voluntary, counseling and testing (VCT) services in
the general population.
Government Priorities
The Government plans to prevent the spread of HIV
and mitigate the impact of AIDS on those infected,
their families, and the nation through:
Curbing risky behavior by increasing knowledge
of HIV and AIDS among traditional, religious,
and community leaders as well as youth.
Improving the quality and coverage of health
treatment, social support, employment, and
economic opportunities for HIV-affected persons.
Improving the society‘s perceptions of PLHIV
with the aim of reducing stigma and discrimina-
tion.
UN Contribution
The One Programme will support the GoL to sustain
focus on prevention and treatment for HIV prevalence
by:
Increasing understanding and knowledge of the
causes of HIV infection among youth and adoles-
cents.
Increasing the number of infected women access-
ing treatment.
Increasing access to quality care, treatment and
support services for people living with HIV.
Building capacity to respond to HIV throughout
the country.

UNDAF 2013 - 2017
2.4.1 Outcome 4.1: Strengthening of Key
Governance Institutions
Context
Governance in Liberia has made some progress since
the end of the conflict in 2003. A national referendum
and a second set of national and local elections
demonstrate slow but steady progress toward the
establishment of democratic processes and strengthen-
ing of governance institutions. With respect to the
legislature, there have been some improvements in
infrastructure and capacity building since 2006. How-
ever, challenges remain with regard to fulfilling its
constitutional responsibilities of lawmaking, oversight
and representation. Public understanding of the legis-
lature‘s roles and responsibilities is limited and
confidence in the institution remains low. Moreover,
inclusion and participation of women in the legislature
remains low; women hold 11.5% of the seats in the
House of Representatives and the Senate.
The National Election Commission (NEC) was estab-
lished in preparation for the 2006 elections. While the
capacity and resources of NEC have improved gradu-
ally since the 2006 elections, the institution is
impaired by a weak legal enforcement framework and
a limited managerial, technical and resource base.
Concerns remain that NEC‘s political neutrality is
compromised and that its overall capacity to deal with
the challenges of conducting free, fair and transparent
elections need strengthening. In 2011, NEC adminis-
tered national elections with the support of the UN
and Development Partners, which were considered as
generally free, fair and transparent by international
standards.
Civil society organizations, including the media, could
be significantly strengthened to fill the role of policy
pressure groups and/or participate more fully in macro
processes either as providers of essential input, or in
an oversight role, and any accompanying regulatory
framework needs strengthening to enable participation
and oversight functions.
Government Priorities
In terms of strengthening governance institutions, the
government plans a number of key interventions:
Implementation of the Legislature Modernization
Plan.
Capacity development of NEC personnel.
Develop and roll out civic voter education
outreach programmes.
Redefine the mandate, function and structure of
the Ministry of Internal Affairs, County, District
and local governance institutions and rationalize
some of the local structures.
Encourage active citizen involvement in planning/
budgeting process.
Make available budget information to citizens in an
accessible format.
UN Contribution
The UN will support the strengthening of select
governance institutions, including the Legislature and
the National Elections Commission, through the fol-
lowing:
Enhance the capacity of the Legislature to
perform its functions in an inclusive, effective and
efficient manner.
Build the capacity of the NEC to independently
conduct free, fair, transparent and credible
elections.
Build the capacity of organized CSOs and the
media to engage in political processes.
2.4.2 Outcome 2.4: Constitutional and Legal
Reform
Context
In 2013, the GoL will embark upon a process of
revising the 1986 Constitution with the key objective
of enhancing civic participation in local level decision
making. As a precursor to constitutional review, the
GoL approved a policy on decentralization and local
governance in 2011, aimed at increasing popular
participation, local initiative, greater transparency and
accountability, especially in the provision of public
goods and services, and has begun the process of
devolution of authority to local governments. The
government has also progressively devolved previous-
ly centralized decision and budgetary authority to
Ministries, Agencies and Commissions (MACs).
Within the existing social and constitutional frame-
work, decentralization efforts in PRS-1 have been
constrained by the 1986 Constitution, which does not
provide a legal framework for decentralization
measures. The establishment of a new legal frame-
work requires a broad public debate to build support
for constitutional amendment, led by the GoL. Many
communities, however, lack the necessary infor-
mation, and many citizens, at present, lack the civic
education required to contribute to this debate.
82
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
Government Priorities
The GoL is planning the following key interventions
with regard to constitutional and legal reform:
Review of the 1986 Constitution to identify areas
of conflict and propose amendments to address
the challenge of political exclusion.
Organize a national consultative and awareness
campaign to validate the constitutional reform
process.
Prepare a local government act, carry out civic
education to sensitize citizens of the benefits of
decentralization.
Construct housing units at the county and district
level for decentralized MACs.
Implement a capacity development policy.
UN Contribution
The UN will support the Constitution Review
Commission and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to:
Review the current constitution, and draft the
legal framework that complies with human rights
standards.
Advocate for the domestication of key human
rights instruments and treaties to which Liberia is
a party.
Increase the responsiveness of county service
delivery and outreach to the needs and priorities
of citizens.
Build the capacity of county officials to formulate
and implement county development plans and
budgets.
2.4.3 Outcome 4.3: Natural Resources
Management
Context
Liberia has abundant natural resources that can
support broad-based economic development. Many
are concentrated by geographic distribution (minerals)
or economies of organization (plantation agriculture).
Given past practices in this sector, there is concern
regarding the development of these natural resources,
and steps will be taken under the AfT to avoid the
re-creation of an enclave economy.
Under PRS 1, the GoL developed legislation related to
environmental issues, and Liberia is a signatory to all
the major Multilateral Environmental Agreements
(MEAs). The country has also developed a National
Climate Change Adaptation Programme of Action
(NAPA). The GoL has also strengthened the role of
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a reg-
ulatory and policy agency, established the National
Disaster Management Commission, set up the Liberia
Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (LEITI)
and developed a national energy policy.
Moreover, the GoL has improved the concessions pro-
cess, leading to standardized treatment across conces-
sion agreements concerning respect for national labor,
environmental and other laws, third party access to
concession infrastructure, and opportunities for linkag-
es between export-oriented enclave concessions and
the rest of the economy.
Government Priorities
Building on some of achievements made in natural
resources management, the GoL seeks to develop and
endow the newly-created National Bureau of Conces-
sions with the broader capacity and specialized skills
required to transparently perform due diligence, to
negotiate concessions, and to enforce terms of the
concession agreement.
UN Contribution
The UN will support the GoL in strengthening systems
and institutions for natural resources management
through the following key interventions:
Develop an expanded, comprehensive regulatory
framework for natural resources management.
Establish a complaint mechanism for natural
resource management.
Develop comprehensive monitoring and evalua-
tion frameworks for natural resources manage-
ment.
Build the capacity of Government to negotiate
contracts, agreements and concessions.
2.4.4 Outcome: 4.4: Public Sector Institutions
and Civil Service Reform
Context
Despite the marked improvement during the past half
decade with economic recovery and growth, economic
growth would be unbalanced or unsustainable without
reforms to governance and public institutions. The will
of Liberians to address poverty is diluted when the
government is unable to translate popular will into
action, or allocate public resources to deliver services
according to these priorities.
In order to execute a long-term agenda of wealth crea-
tion, Liberia will need an efficient and streamlined
representative bureaucracy, both at national and local
levels. To maximize resources available for the public
83
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
good, the GoL will enhance economic governance by
ensuring transparency around monitoring and collec-
tion of revenues from concessions activities so that
they yield the maximum benefit for the country.
The GoL will continue to strengthen the capacity of
the public sector to collect revenue and efficiently
save and invest resources for the provision of public
goods to citizens, while being transparent and subject
to oversight from informed citizens and efficient
watchdog organizations. Participation in bureaucracy
will need to be based on merit, not patronage or social
networks and various groups of society will need to be
fairly represented in politics at the national and the
local level.
Government Priorities
The GoL aims to strengthen public sector institutions
and civil service reform through a number of key
interventions:
Develop a National Public Sector Reform Policy
and Strategy.
Review of business processes and financial
management of eleven agencies and thirteen State
Owner Enterprises (SOEs).
Politically appointed Assistant Ministers will be
replace by professionally recruited Department
Heads.
Review of government human resources policy.
UN Contribution:
The UN will assist with the decentralization of
Government agencies and support the Government's
reform strategy in several ways:
Assist with the development of clear mandates,
structures and functions throughout the civil
service.
Develop a National Disaster Risk Reduction policy
and assisting with its implementation.
Assist with the implementation of effective Public
Financial Management throughout the civil
service.

CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
94
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
2.5 CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
The AfT identifies a number of cross-cutting issues,
which have been mainstreamed across the Pillars of
the One Programme.
2.5.1 Gender Equality
Achieving gender equality is a priority for both the
GoL and the UN system. Numerous initiatives are
ongoing, including the formulation of the Liberia
National Action Plan for the implementation of UN
Security Council Resolution 1325, and through a
National Gender Policy. These policies are designed
to address inequalities in access to government
services, participation and representation.
Representation of women in government, and increas-
ing women‘s participation in decision-making posi-
tions are addressed in the Governance One Pro-
gramme Pillar, while employment oportunities are
promoted through the Sustainable Economic Transfor-
mation and Human Development One Programme
Pillars. Women‘s health is a central part of the Human
Development One Programme Pillar, and livelihood
support for women is part of the Sustainable Econom-
ic Transformation One Programme Pillar. Reducing
sexual and gender-based violence and the protection
of women and girls also depends on rule of law (the
legal framework) and security (enforcement of the
law) structures and institutions, as well as on the
effectiveness of social welfare services. Throughout
the One Programme, most of the indicators are dis-
aggregated by sex.
2.5.2 Human Rights
A human rights based approach to development
programming demands that human rights standards
and principles are applied across all interventions. The
Independent National Commission on Human Rights
(INCHR) was established in September 2010, and is
mandated to conduct investigations, make recommen-
dations and advocate for legislative and policy chang-
es to improve the human rights situation in Liberia.
However, internal challenges have significantly af-
fected the Commission‘s performance. The UN sys-
tem and partners in the One Programme are commit-
ted to developing the capacities of duty bearers and
rights holders. The Peace, Security and Rule of Law,
as well as the Governance and Public Institutions One
Programme Pillars, address civil and political rights,
the Sustainable Economic Transformation One Pro-
gramme Pillar addresses economic rights, and the
Human Development One Programme Pillar promotes
social and cultural rights.
2.5.3 Environment
Environmental sustainability is addressed in the One
Programme through the Governance and Public Insti-
tutions One Programme Pillar (the governance frame-
work for natural resource management), under
Sustainable Economic Transformation (promoting
sustainable use of natural resources, including the
promotion of more sustainable rice production meth-
ods), and in the WASH component under the Human
Development One Programme Pillar.
2.5.4 Employment
Labor and employment, in particular youth employ-
ment, are addressed under Sustainable Economic
Transformation. In addition to promoting a stable and
growing market economy and support to the creation
of small and medium enterprises, vocational and
technical education is envisaged for young people who
have completed basic education requirements. A
pre-vocational training programme will serve people
who have not completed 9 years of schooling.
Employment as a cross-cutting issue becomes an inte-
gral part of all aspects of the One Programme.
Employment opportunities and increased agricultural
production will have an impact on household food
security, and in turn, maternal and child nutrition
(Sustainable Economic Transformation, Human
Development). Improvements in the educational
system should improve the employability of women
and young people, and improvements in health,
WASH and HIV-AIDS services should increase
productivity (Sustainable Economic Transformation,
Human Development). Youth empowerment and
addressing youth unemployment, as well as ensuring
that services reach those who have been excluded or
marginalized, will contribute to peace-building and
reconciliation (Sustainable Economic Transformation,
Peace, Security and Rule of Law).
There is a strong inter-dependency between outcomes
related to Peace, Security and Rule of Law, and those
related to Sustainable Economic Transformation.
Increased security is crucial for achieving the overall
goals of the AfT and the One Programme. Progress in
economic transformation under Human Development,
in turn, will lead to sustainable gains in security and
stabilization.
2.5.5 Reconciliation
Reconciliation is a common theme in all One
Programme Pillars. Addressing unemployment, inclu-
sive governance, and programmes promoting equality
and ending marginalization will contribute to peace
and reconciliation. Effective rule of law institutions
promote reconciliation, strengthen state authority and
lay the foundations for stability.

SECTION 3
Programme Management
PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
3.1 The Government/Donor/UN One Programme Steering Committee on Delivering as One
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
A Joint Steering Committee made up of Government,
donor and UN representatives will provide strategic
guidance and overall leadership to the Delivering as
One process. It will ensure that the change process
supports the Government‘s National Vision and prior-
ities, and is aligned with the principles of the Paris
Declaration and other aid effectiveness commitments.
The Steering Committee will meet at regular intervals
to discuss critical issues and make policy decisions to
facilitate One Programme implementation.
The Minister of Planning and Economic Affairs,
together with the Special Representative of the Secre-
tary General (SRSG), with delegated authority to the
Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General
(DSRSG)/Resident Coordinator, will co-chair the
Steering Committee.
The terms of reference for the Government/Donor/UN
One Programme Steering Committee on Delivering as
One appear in the Costed Action Plan component of the
One Programme.
96
ONE PROGRAMME - Liberia
UNDAF 2013 - 2017
3.2 The Delivering as One UN Management
Structure
Responsibility for the overall management and over-
sight of the internal planning and implementation
processes for the One Programme will be assumed by
the following, existing coordination mechanisms,
referred to collectively as the DaO UN Management
Structure.
3.3 The Strategic Policy Group and the
United Nations Country Team
The Strategic Policy Group (SPG) is the highest
decision-making body within the UN system in
Liberia, and includes UNMIL Heads of Sections and
the Heads of all UN Agencies, Funds and
Programmes. It is chaired by the SRSG, who has dele-
gated authority to the DSRSG/Resident Coordinator to
take the lead on the development and implementation
of the One Programme.
The expanded UN Country Team (UNCT), which
consists of UN Heads of Agencies, Funds and
Programmes and Heads of key UNMIL sections, will
make the day-to-day decisions and oversee reporting
and management of the One Programme. Relevant
issues will be raised at the SPG for final approval. The
UNCT is responsible for reporting on Delivering as
One and One Programme implementation to the
Delivering as One Steering Committee.
3.4 One Programme Pillar Groups
The day-to-day management of the One Programme
will take place within the One Programme Pillar
Groups (UNPG). Each UNPG brings together the UN
Agencies, Funds, Programmes and UNMIL Sections
engaged in and contributing to that Pillar. The UNPG
will be convened by the Head of the UN entity that is
identified as Convenor in that sector. The UNPG
Convener regularly reports to the UNCT.
3.5 Outcome Working Groups
All Outcome Working Groups (OWG) will comprise
programming staff, who will provide technical level
assistance to the UNPG, manage the development of
workplans, and ensure implementation of planned
activities.
3.6 The Inter-Agency Programming Team (IAPT)
The Inter Agency Programming Team (IAPT) consists
of representatives of the Outcome Groups. It is
responsible for the design and overall management of
the One Programme and One Budgetary Framework,
which includes all the preparatory and intermediate
steps leading to its formulation, finalization, approval
and implementation. It provided strategic guidance
and oversight to all programmatic processes related to
the previous UNDAF such as the Review of the Joint
Programmes, the Mid-Term Review of the Country
Programme Action Plans of agencies and the UNDAF
Mid-Term Review. Monitoring of the implementation
of the One Programme will take place at this level.
The IAPT reports on One Programme implementation
to the UNCT.
3.7 Inter-agency Monitoring and Evaluation
(M&E) Technical Advisory Group
The Inter-agency Monitoring and Evaluation Tech-
nical Advisory Group (M&E Group) will provide
technical and advisory support to the IAPT and UN
Pillar Groups in the monitoring of the One Pro-
gramme. The M&E group will also oversee Annual
Reviews, Mid-Term evaluations and other tasks listed
in the M&E schedule. The M&E Group Convener is a
member of the IAPT, and M&E Group members are
appointed to participate in specific UN Pillar Groups.
3.8 Operations Management Team (OMT)
The Operations Management Team (OMT) will be
responsible for the design and management of all the
Delivering as One components that relate to common
services, premises and other operational issues, includ-
ing the Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfer. In a
similar manner to the IAPT, the OMT will monitor
progress, identify challenges and make recommenda-
tions to the UNCT in all matters affecting UN system
operations.
3.9 UN Communications Group (UNCG)
The UN Communications Group (UNCG) will imple-
ment, monitor and review the UNCT Communications
Strategy. As such, the UNCG will assume overall
responsibility for promoting awareness and under-
standing of Delivering as One, both internally and
externally, as well as ensuring that the UN speaks with
one voice on key policy issues. The UNCG will also
mobilize support for the initiative among all UN staff,
GoL and donors.
3.10 The Gender Theme Group (GTG)
The GTG promotes the application of gender
friendly and human rights-based approaches in the
work of the UN in Liberia.
97
SECTION 4
Monitoring and Evaluation
In the One Programme costed Action Plan‘s Monitoring and Evaluation framework, each target is supported by technical notes which specify, among others, data
disaggregation, the responsible agency for data collection and mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues.
This review will coincide with completion planned end-period of Millennium Development Goals.
The UN County Field Offices where One Programme interventions are being implemented will serve as country-level focal points for M&E.
Mechanisms for regular feedback are embedded in the costed Action Plan.
The outcome and output indicators and targets will be
used to monitor the progress of the One Programme.
Output indicators will be monitored annually, and out-
come indicators will be monitored at the mid-term and
end of the One Programme cycle. Annual targets will
be defined each year through the IAPT/Monitoring
and Evaluation Technical Advisory Group (M&E
Group) in consultation with One Programme UN
Pillar Groups. The verification sources will be nation-
al databases at the Liberia Institute of Statistics and
Geo-information Services (LISGIS) and other Govern-
ment entities.
Three major review exercises are scheduled within the
One Programme implementation cycle: the annual
review of the Costed Action Plan, a mid-term review
of the One Programme in 2015, and a final One
Programme evaluation in 2017.
The IAPT/M&E Group will develop an efficient and
effective output tracking system to support timely
achievement and/or modification of results. This group
will advise and support the other One Programme
groups (UNCT, IAPT, UNPWG) and related govern-
ment monitoring entities to ensure consistency,
coherency and consideration of cross-cutting issues
both at national and county level.
